if swapping the steering stems is a minor mod to you,then yes any front end will bolt on with minor mods.there are some front ends that can just have the stem bearings swapped out and bolt on.although i don't know which ones these are.
i have done several steering stem swaps to install later model(sportbike) frontends on these old kz's.
when searching for a front end to swap try to get it as complete as possible,brakes wheel axle spacers.you will save time and money in the long run.

hth, pm me if i can help you.

I do know that some will reduce your steering angle or hit the tank. Might just be the USD trees and forks tho. Do the homework because little surprises like that will ruin your day.

Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.
